Infinity 1 High Performance Quick Build Kit Canard Sport Aircraft & UAV

CALCULATED PERFORMANCE derived from NASA Computer Wind Tunnel Analysis ( within 1 drag count of accuracy ) :

( JD’s goal is to design an entirely new, inexpensive, easy to maintain, fast to build, Quick Build Kit Canard Sport Aircraft with tricycle oleo strut retractable main landing gear, and with steerable retractable oleo nose strut, that will cruise 250+ mph on 210 HP @ 75% power at 10,000 ft., carry 2 people his size [ JD is 6′ 6″ tall ], carry 2 sets of golf clubs and baggage, fly 4+ hrs. and get 20+ mpg, be able to land on grass and dirt runways [ he’s from the Midwest ], and never to land at the same airport twice ( unless there’s something really special at that airport ) so he can see the entire country via the 15,000+ airports in the USA — as you can see, we think we are in there ! )  { No, it will not be sold as a Plans Built Aircraft — sorry. }

Velocity, Never Exceed ( VNE ) IAS	400 knts/h IAS / 460 mph IAS / 740.3 km/h IAS
Glide Ratio ( with all 3 gear UP, and prop stopped and feathered )	17.5 : 1
Glide distance in calm winds from 3,017 feet AGL ( Both examples with all 3 gear UP, and prop stopped and feathered ) Glide distance in calm winds from 10,000 feet AGL ( The average distance between airports in the USA is 15 sm, except in the mountains.  So, on take-off, always zip up to 3000+ feet AGL in less than 2 minutes so that you are always within gliding distance of a runway in case of an engine out situation. )	10+ sm / 8.7+ nm / 16.4+ km 33+ sm / 28+ nm / 53.1+ km
